Plant-based proteins: If by protein you mean meat, there are still plenty of plant-based proteins you can eat -- and if you can tolerate them, dairy ; eggs. (i've known pregnant women who crave eggs.) plant-based proteins include beans of all kinds; leafy greens like spinach; quinoa; buckwheat (gluten-free and unrelated to wheat despite the name); nuts; spirulina; peas, etc. http://tinyurl.com/kalj2tj.
